The FAITA Sicily conference was held at the Catania Chamber of Commerce. Present were local institutions and representatives of the national and local outdoor tourist accommodation sector: Alberto Granzotto, Faita Federcamping National President; Marco Sperapani, General Manager; and Giuseppe Zingale, Faita Sicilia Secretary.
A meeting to talk about goals but also about achievements: the Sicilian open-air tourism consolidates a real evolution, and today it focuses everything on experiential proposals and high quality services, able to retain tourists. A real transformation of the sector that leads it to be increasingly competitive with national and international realities.
As reported by FAITA Federcamping, National President Alberto Granzotto said, “FAITA Federcamping is the leading association representing outdoor tourism in Italy, and we are proud to bring our message of innovation and sustainability to Catania. We are talking about modern facilities, aligned with European hospitality standards, that focus on the relationship with the territory, respect for the environment and offering authentic experiences “.
Thus, Sicilian campsites stand out for their immersive proposals, capable not only of offering on-site services, but the possibility to actively interact with their territories as well. Indeed, the president highlighted the ability of the facilities to involve guests with numerous experiences to be lived at “zero km”: ” Guests want to discover, to ride, to savor. They don’t just stay in the facility, they interact with the local economy. This,” he continues, “has been demonstrated by econometric studies we commissioned to measure the concrete impact of our businesses on the host territories…. “.
The evolution of Sicily’s open air is undoubtedly a motivational boost for the entire regional tourism sector and beyond, a very positive development in an area with great potential but still finding structural obstacles. This aspect was highlighted by Regional Secretary Giuseppe Zingale: ” The region has everything to excel in this segment-climate, landscape, history, cuisine-but needs to catch up with the national average. It needs a clear regional law, investment incentives, and a vision that recognizes the strategic value of the open air segment “.
